Software Quality?

[Erockrazor]

Simple question that I'm almost ashamed to ask.

Does the program you're recording with have any impact on the sonic quality of the recording?

I know you can change sampling rate and bit depth. With that aside, I am just curious if one program can have a better way of processing the recording than another(better algorithms?).

Thanks a lot for your help. Hopefully I dont get slapped for asking this!

90% of people will swear it does not make a difference, not any more (algorithms basically mostly the same).
